betrothed

Ball

  
  After a spa section at home with mama that day,I decided to take a nap
it helps me calm my nerves if am going for such events

By the time I woke up the makeup artist was already here,Nana brought him into the room while I wore my rope
  Charles was a famous makeup artist and he knew what to do with my face
my makeup was all nude with a little bit of glitters on my eye shadows
I didn't want something colorful because of my hair and dress
he styled my hair in a bridal way leaving two curly tendrils at the front and wrapping up the rest in a rose like manner at the back
 
After he left,I slide into my dress
it was a red gown,that clung to my body with a slit at the front and an opened back that was deep to my waist line
it was a sleeve less gown and I hope I don't freeze to death
my boobs always manage to make the most innocent looking clothes look slutty
I was ashamed at first when they started growing but I learnt to embrace my body
my gown was flowing at the back if I mistakenly tripped the media would certainly have something to feast on thank God for the slit
Nana helped me put on my silver heels and I went downstairs to join my parents
They were ready, looking exquisite as usual in matching attires, couple goals indeed

"Look at my little princess Rapunzel all grown up,how do I keep the young men at Bay tonight Amelia...Papa said while extending his hand to help me down from the stairs,he held mama and I in both hands

"Am the luckiest man in that ball today, holding the two most beautiful women in the world,in my arms 
 
"Oh yes you are...look at what I made mama said smiling

We drove in one of father's expenses cars,a 2021 Audi

  I wanted to run back into the car when we came down at the palace where the ball was held....cause damn the lights where much,the media do know how to turn up.....

"Mr abele is that your daughter

How was her stay in America

"Will she be moving back or marry the prince

The questions where coming from everywhere, our bodyguard and Jasper helped us keep them at Bay and we managed to enter the venue

Here comes the biggest part being announced by the Lord Stewart
I taught this practices have been aborted what am I even saying...a society that still supports betrothal,as if we were still in the Victorian era

Standing on the threshold,the Stewart
announced our names"if silence could be heard over music,all heads were turned looking at us

  The ball room was filled with men and women, expensive dresses and colognes
  Like all balls held in palace the ballroom was well lighted and beautiful
they were people on the dance floor already,while some gossiped or talked about business
I took a glass of champagne from one of the servers to calm my nerves as papa lead us to mr Adams his business associate

"Barron is this your daughter ?

"Yes Adams,meet my daughter Victoria

"Victoria you remember Mr Adams right?? Father asked

"Ah yes I do....I answered,Mr Adams took my hands and kissed it while looking into my eyes

who wouldn't remember him,,the man with the round face and long nose...I said within me

Papa took me to meet more business associates while mama escaped to go meet her friends

Some of the men flirted,some tried to belittle me by testing my knowledge about the business market
I put them all in their places with a smiling face and papa had a proud smile on his face all along

I felt it before I could see him....the sharp burning gaze

looking around the room,I found the  coldest blue eyes looking right at me
his eyes where soul piercing,dark,cold and blue
